What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The sporulation process is a complex genetic developmental program leading to profound changes in global gene expression profile. In this work, we have applied genome-wide microarray approach for transcriptional profiling of Bacillus subtilis strain lacking a gene coding for PrpE protein phosphatase. This protein was previously shown to be involved in the regulation of germination of B. subtilis spores. Moreover, the deletion of prpE gene resulted in changing the resistance properties of spores. Our results provide genome-wide insight into the influence of this protein phosphatase on the physiology of B. subtilis cells. Although the precise role of PrpE in shaping the observed phenotype of ΔprpE mutant strain still remains beyond the understanding, our experiments brought observations of possible indirect implication of this protein in the regulation of cell motility and chemotaxis, as well as the development of competence. Surprisingly, prpE-deleted cells showed elevated level of general stress response, which turned out to be growth medium specific.
